Lockheed Martin
Description:
Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more — we can innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.
At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We’re creating future‑ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We’re erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation. And we’re reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.
Job Overview As a Mechanical Engineer, Staff (Structural Dynamics Analyst), you will provide state‑of‑the‑art analysis in the development of a next‑generation missile or spacecraft. In this role, your work will involve advanced structures, materials, and strategic missile defense and flight systems.
Responsibilities
Perform structural dynamic analyses for missile and spacecraft flight hardware.
Produce and maintain models generated from both in‑house and commercially available software codes, simulating mechanical loading conditions, mechanism deployment motions, and the response behavior of missile segment and spacecraft events.
Perform load development (primary structure and component level), shock and vibration environments determination and component and system level testing and data evaluation.
Prepare test plans; separation dynamics, vibration, modal and shock test execution, and post‑test reports.
Work with a multi‑disciplined team performing structural design trades, preliminary and detailed design/analysis activity and performance and maintenance assessments of operational systems.
Support dynamic test definitions, requirements development, test monitoring, data reduction, and comparison to analysis efforts.
Provide user documentation and recommendations to data packages to support peer and customer reviews, present analysis data to engineering teams, customer technical representatives, and Program Office personnel at technical interchange meetings and design reviews.
Participate in the review of program requirements with an ability to interpret and plan (or assign) tasks accordingly.
Basic Qualifications
Ability to communicate effectively while working across multi‑disciplinary teams.
Advanced understanding of structural dynamics through education or equivalent experience and coursework.
Experience with structural test methods including classical hand calculations and mechanical joints.
Experience with NX/NASTRAN static and dynamic solutions and finite element modeling using NX or equivalent.
Proficiency in application of finite element analysis principles as well as rigid and flexible body lumped‑parameters.
Experience with analysis efforts in support of conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design activity.
Desired Skills
Experience with the development of space structures.
Knowledge of practical application of vibroacoustic and modal assessment of flight structures.
Knowledge of both empirical and model‑based approach to shock assessments.
Ability to work in a collaborative and highly integrated team environment.
Desire to assume ownership of tasks and the drive to close quickly and efficiently.
Experience evaluating designs using rigid body or flexible body analysis methods and tools.
Mechanisms, antenna, electronic component, ground support, hoisting, and test support equipment, and composite materials analysis familiarity.
Experience with NX/Nastran, Abaqus, ADAMS, LS‑Dyna, Matlab, Mathcad, CREO, or Wave6.
Static, vibration, acoustic, modal, shock test experience.
Creativity/innovation to tackle issues related to anomalous performance of any aspect of a mechanical system.
Security Clearance This position requires a government security clearance; you must be a U.S. citizen for consideration. Clearance Level: Secret.
Compensation & Benefits Pay Rate: The annual base salary range for this position in California, Massachusetts, New York (excluding major metropolitan areas), Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, Washington, and Washington, DC is $104,500 – $184,115. For other states, the salary range will reflect the candidate’s final work location.
Benefits offered: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Short‑Term Disability, Long‑Term Disability, 401(k) match, Flexible Spending Accounts, EAP, Education Assistance, Parental Leave, Paid time off, and Holidays. This position is incentive plan eligible.
Equal Opportunity Lockheed Martin is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified candidates will be considered without regard to legally protected characteristics.
Application Window The application window will close in 90 days; applicants are encouraged to apply within 5–30 days of the requisition posting date for optimal consideration.
